"During
my semester, I had an amazing time visiting Moscow and St. Petersburg,
and later Kyiv and Lviv. And living in Kharkiv, the second-largest city
in Ukraine after the capital of Kyiv, is perfect in that there are many
international students (I met some from Germany, Nigeria, Iraq, and
Mexico) as well as thousands of friendly locals. The EESA staff are very
kind and helpful. They will go to great lengths to make sure that your
stay in Eastern Europe is as enjoyable and rewarding as possible. If you
have any connection to Russian or Ukrainian culture, this is without a
question the study abroad program for you. And if you don't, you will
still return home with fantastic memories and a new appreciation of this
part of the world."

"Studying abroad in Ukraine sets you apart
from your peers and will leave you with memories which you will never
forget. So take the chance and experience an unforgettable year abroad
with Eastern European Study Abroad!"

Now more than ever Kharkiv, Ukraine is a very attractive place to study abroad. By spending a semester in Kharkiv, a Ukrainian city next to the border with Russia, you'll gain a much deeper understanding of the region, the history, the culture and mentality that influence the relations between the countries today. All of our alumni fall in love with Kharkiv and refer to their study abroad experience with EESA as life changing and the best decision they made in college. A lot of our alumni keep coming back to either visit, do internships, or even move to Kharkiv for long-term. We are confident that you will greatly enjoy our program, and we at EESA will do our best to make sure that you get the most out of your study abroad experience!

EESA has successfully
launched the online language immersion program with the first group completing
their 8-week study in June and July 2014. Because of the Russian aggression
towards Ukraine, EESA made a decision to remove academic field trips to Russia from
our semester and year programs starting with the spring 2015. Read more by

Today marks
the 200th anniversary since the birth of Taras Shevchenko, a great
Ukrainian poet, writer, painter, ethnographer and civil rights activist. Taras
Shevchenko became one of the best known symbolic figures of the Ukrainian
nation not just for his creative achievements, but also for his fight for
freedom, against slavery and the institution of serfdom itself.
